Chopped Chicken Liver
Chopped Chicken Liver is the quintessential Jewish comfort food and always a guilty pleasure! Annie Mae used to “kasher” the livers and make the schmaltz in the kitchen of my childhood. Of course, you can buy pre- kashered livers, rendered chicken fat and even Chopped Liver at the butcher; but, […]

Orange/Lemon Crisps
Orange/Lemon Crisps are delicious light cookies that let you know when they are done by developing a toasty brown rim around the outside. Use orange zest for Orange Crisps and lemon zest for lemon crisps. I like them plain and simple; but if you prefer more sweetness, ice them with […]
